The 166,000 attorneys practicing in New York State are required to re-register every two years and pay a $375 fee. David Bookstaver, the spokesman for New York’s court system confirmed that Kennedy has brought her registration current with the payment of $750 covering the two registration periods that had passed since she last registered in December 2008.

Attorneys are required to re-register within 30 days of their birthdays. Kennedy’s registration is now listed as current through November 2014.

The President’s nominations of ambassadors are subject to Senate confirmation.
